So shooting at, say, 1/2000 at f/2 will kill the sunlight but allow full flash output and normal sync - and a single speedlight can easily provide enough output power through a softbox with the aperture at f/2. This is the holy grail - a leaf shutter will sync normally with the flash up to its fastest speed, so 1/4000 syncs normally. The problem is that the flash still has to fire as if the aperture were f/8, and that still doesn't work with a single speedlight (though it's fine with more speedlights or something more powerful.) Agian, gets expensive.ģ. This allows the camera to sync normally at 1/250, but the aperture can be at f/2 (or whatever) for that shallow DOF look. Normal sync, but with a neutral denisty filter on the lens. It doesn't work well with a single speedlight in a softbox under these assumptions, but you can gang up a lot of speedlights and it can work. It robs the flash of most of its output power.
Recent Canon and Nikon speedlights do this. This is some flash wizardry that allows a speedlight to sync with the shutter at speeds far above the standard sync speed.
Assuming we're trying to shoot outdoors in bright light, using a flash through an umbrella or small softbox for main or fill light, we have several choices:ġ. That might change my answer, but I still think I'd start with the Fuji TTL unit.Ĭlick to expand.OK, so we're talking about three different things here. You can buy a 10-meter straight cord for the Canon TTL system, which is great for single-light off camera setups.Įdit 2: now that I re-read your post, I'm less clear on whether this will be on-camera or off-camera. Looking forward to testing it.Įdit: The Canon off-camera flash cord should work with either flash unit, and provide TTL with the Fuji flash. I wasn't going to get a flash for my Fuji kit, but after a couple of shoots when I really needed one, I ordered an EF42 which should be here by the end of the week. The TTL metering just makes this much easier and faster. But for on-camera flash, especially with fill-flash, I'll always grab the Canon TTL speedlight when shooting with my Canon system. The manual speedlights are great for use in off-camera "strobist" type setups, as they are inexpensive and easy to use. I have a lot of flash units, from basic manual speedlights to Canon TTL speedlights up to big studio flash units.
The Yongnuo is all manual, which for on-camera flash can sometimes be a pain, especially with moving subjects. So my question is, if this is to be used on camera, why not just get the EF42? It's less than $200 from B&H, and it does TTL flash with the Fuji cameras.
